FLORAL SLIDER BOX

I was inspired to make this Floral Slider Box by a tutorial I saw by "The Posh Paper Lady".  She made the basic box.  I embellished it to make it my own.  To make the box I used a floral file folder by Currant Catalog.

The drawer slides out.  I created feet for the bottom by stacking Scrabble tiles together.

                                                           This is the box upside down.

Top of the box is decorated with a strip of lace and wildflower silhouette dies from Tim Holtz.  There is also a ladybug wood embellishment.

'TEE PEE' CARD

 

I designed this 'Tee Pee' card using the basic measurements by 'Mixed Up Craft' you can find that tutorial HERE.  I chose the larger size.  This card is about 6" tall.

I laid the card open to add all the layers and elements.  I used magnets to hold back pieces together to form the tee pee.  Background papers are from Graphic 45.  The flowers are from a digital kit called 'Fred She Said' and the ladybugs are from clip art on the internet.

DENIM AND DIAMONDS TAG ALBUM

Using the large tag die from Graphic 45 I created this 'Tag Album'. The finished measurements are   4" x   5".  There are a total of six pages.  I designed the original templates and my friend, Priss, designed the pages using a digital kit from Raspberry Designs called 'Denim and Diamonds'.  

These are the inside pages.  Not showing up well on the pages are lots of rhinestones and glitter.

                                                                  Here's the back cover.

FOLDING PHOTO ALBUM

 

This accordion style 'Folding Photo Album' starts out quite large.  But folds down to a  4"x 4" square and is held together by ribbon on both sides.  The quotes throughout the album are from Dr. Seuss.

                              

                               Here is the album opened up to show all the photos and quotes.  I used standard 65 lb. weight cardstock for all the pages.

                                                                  Here's the back cover.

FUN FOLD BIRTHDAY CARD

I created this card using cardstock.  It measures  4 1/4"x 5 1/2"  and fits nicely in an A2 envelope.

I first made templates to print my backgrounds on and the Happy Birthday sentiments.  The papers are from a digital kit created by Karen Schulz called "Bohemian Life".  The flowers are from a digital kit created by "Fred She Said".  The leaves are a die.  The bees are from clip art on the internet.

I made a video on You Tube if you would like to make one of your own.  You can find that

AMERICANA WOOD BLOCK

I created this 'Americana Wood Block' using a variety of stars and stripes and good old Uncle Sam embellishments found on the internet.  It measures about 4"x 4".  

I prepared the wood blocks by coating the corners with a coat of Gesso and then a coat of black acrylic paint.

 

I made templates for the sides and top using the backgrounds from a digital kit by Chicory Cottage.  

The cluster on the top is a combination of the kit's elements and clusters from a Tim Holtz die call 'Tattered Florals".

This is the back.

BEACH BOX

I created this 'Beach Box' using standard cardstock.  It measures  4" x  4" and has a tab for a pull out drawer. 

The embellishments came from a few different sources:  The sentiment on the front came from a digital kit called 'Beach Days' from Snickerdoodle Designs, waves on the sides came from a kit called 'Mermaid Chronicles' by Royanna Fritschmann and the other embellishments were found on the internet at 'Clip Art'.  I brought everything into Photoshop Elements for sizing and coloring. Then cut them out.

Here's the back.
